A voice inside a voice.
By Exodus
God gave you life
Destroy it.
Bleed in this bed
Cleansed with sin
Your parents don’t understand
They’re afraid
So you bathed them in thick black smoke
Keep OUT!
And this love bled through
Too many times
And unwanted eyes
Did wander
You’re ruined
And you have no friends
No purpose in life
And that purpose seems unlikely
And the tears don’t stop
Unless you’re distracted
By a random smile
Don’t reject yourself
You’re ignoring your own voice?
And you still want to be
What everyone wants
But you know
You could never live like that
And you rather suffer the pain
Rather than the lies
A red letter
Painted with a promise
To tuck you in
As you go under

I like the light rhyme at the end of this... it's rare to see someone put a rhyme at the end that isn't forced. The murkiness of this tells me it's written for you more than for us ;)
